🚨 Over 25 students were arrested at 3 AM today by over 100 police officers armed with batons at Cal Poly Humboldt, including a journalist and professor Dr. Rouhollah Aghasalehi, who has embarked on a hunger strike.
Dr. Aghasalehi stated: "I refuse to accept the label of criminal for standing up for an ethical reason...Until all my students and me are released and justice is served, I will endure this hunger strike as a testament to the strength of my convictions and unwavering commitment to truth and justice."
Besides arrests, students were handed suspensions. But they are unwavering and steadfast, determined to stand for the truth.
Intifada Hall (formerly "Siemens Hall"), the building occupied by the students for over a week, was cleared, after the students demonstrated a model in militancy and direct action for all solidarity actions.
A suspended student stated: "This is the student intifada, this is only the beginning, Palestine is inevitable."
"We have set an example for all schools and all people to look to for resistance. We are many, we are liquid, we are the collective, we are uncrushable... Intifada Hall was just the location we all gathered around."
They added: "Even if this liberated zone is cleared, we will never stop being connected to one another. We are all love. Our hope is resistance, and our hope is each other."
"We continue to call on Cal Poly Humboldt and [President] Tom Jackson to heed our principled demands for divestment, disclosure, and boycott of the zionist entity of Israel. Do not despair for our prisoners, but surround them with love and join their struggle for their freedom. This American occupation might try to make an example out of them, but we will surround them with more love and determination."
"Palestine will be liberated in our lifetimes, all colonies must fall."
